...been clear for some months now that the bird of Wall Street is the dove. So it was no real surprise last week when new hope for peace in Viet Nam gave the stock market an exuberant lift. A paroxysm of trading twice shattered daily volume records on the New York Stock Exchange and sent share prices up enough to erase a third of the past winter's losses. Then, at week's end, the market settled back and waited to react again to events...
...curriculum accents learning by "discovery" and subtly prods the children to teach one another. To act out childhood fantasies, they create weird costumes and run off in them to Central Park, where, as one student wrote in his daily journal, he simply "spied on people." One classroom contains eight doves, a skink, boa constrictor, canary, goldfish, turtles and families of gerbils and mice. The mating habits of a pair of doves, Hawk and Paloma, led to a highly explicit discussion of reproduction, all duly recorded in a scrapbook labeled the "Dove Book." The animals provide a common community of interest...

They dread what their Westchester County neighbors might say, and cringe at the notoriety of having their daughter...
Between Extremes. Frustration only feeds extreme views both on the hawk and the dove side. There are some who want saturation bombing of Haiphong's harbor, then of Haiphong and Hanoi themselves, and finally of the Red River dikes. Others talk instead of a phase-down or even quick withdrawal. As it has been for so long, the President's position seems firm and fixed between the extremes. He is determined to stand fast. He is, moreover, determined to hold Khe Sanh, for he believes that the loss of the outpost would allow the Communists to roll from...
